Support - New vision for development and sustainability

In 2018 we will celebrate 900 years since work began to build the great Norman Abbey which we know today as Peterborough Cathedral.

Our past is about a faith community responding to changing needs and opportunities for service. 

Today this Cathedral is

• A focus for the life and work of the Church in the Diocese of Peterborough.
• A people committed to worship, prayer and pastoral care giving hospitality and welcome to both visitors and pilgrims.
• A heritage icon at the heart of a vibrant city, well placed to address the challenges of the 21^st century.

Our vision for the future

1. Education and outreach

• Establish a centre of Christian study for people of all ages.
• Create a Music Education Centre for the community as well as the Cathedral.
• Enhance the heritage interpretation of the Cathedral and Precincts. 

2. Community and hospitality

• Improve the access and presentation of the Precincts in partnership with the City.
• Upgrade the facilities for visitors and pilgrims.
• Establish ‘drop-in’ facilities for those in need including the homeless, and ex-service personnel (in partnership with Combat Stress).

3. Spirituality – worship and prayer

• Enhance the Living worship, that is both consonant with the past and explores new forms.
• Provide a state-of-the-art sound system.
• Upgrade the Nave Sanctuary furnishing and fabric.
